摘要

这篇文章探讨了1918年后爱德华时代以“英国花园”为中心的纪念美学是如何在20世纪末被用来建立一个“非正式”的记忆帝国的。其结果是一种建筑讽刺,一种与当时不一致的景观:1945年后,帝国战争墓地委员会(IWGC)的墓地在实际的土地契约被交出的同时,扩大了现已不复存在的帝国纪念财产。尽管如此,这个关于同时代政治退出和纪念挪用的故事的一个例外证明了更广泛的观点。因为1982年南大西洋发生血腥的帝国战争后,委员会在英国政府的要求下,建造了1945年后的第一座也是最后一座海外战争墓地。正如60年前的情况一样,这座墓地的形式和风格确保了它成为爱德华时代记忆帝国的最后前哨。

An Empire of Memory: Overseas British War Cemeteries, 1917–1983
This article examines how a post-1918 Edwardian commemorative aesthetic focused on the “English Garden” was deployed in the later twentieth century as a means to establish an “informal” Empire of memory. The result is an architectural irony and a landscape at odds with the moment that made it: the post-1945 cemeteries of the Imperial War Graves Commission (IWGC) expanded the now defunct Empire’s commemorative possessions just as the actual deeds to land were surrendered. The one exception to this story of contemporaneous political withdrawal and commemorative appropriation nonetheless proves the broader point. For after the bloody imperial war fought in the South Atlantic in 1982 the Commission, at the behest of the British government, built its first and last post-1945 overseas war cemetery. And just as had been the case sixty years earlier, the form and style of this cemetery ensured it became the last outpost of an Edwardian Empire of memory.
